Description: | |
This is an anything goes swap. The theme is Tree of Life. In the U.S., "you call it" is used in bars to advertise alcohol specials where they'll make any kind of mixed drink you want at a fixed price. In this case, I am using it to mean that the creator chooses the format. If you sign up, you can make atcs, frameable art, a t-shirt, jewelry, a postcard, an altered book or bookcover, etc. You decide your format, but feel free to consult your recipient, if you wish. This is the first swap I've hosted, but the Tree of Life symbolism has been my favorite for a long time. Very often, the Tree of Life is depicted as a flourishing organism above ground, host to birds and other animals, while equal or greater development of the tree exists below ground as its root system. To me, this is a reminder that greatness and growth come from roots, evident from the surface or not. This is my interpretation, but, as with the media used in your project, your take on it will be of your own choosing. You will send one or more items in one package and you will receive one package. I feel I can not put monetary value on the swap because I intend for items to be primarily handcrafted. Send item(s) of a quality you would be excited to receive. That being said, this swap is open to newbies. This swap is also open internationally. I will assist swappers with a score of less than 4.0 by removing them, so that they will not injure their karma with this swap as they have with others. :) Send your work by Dec. 1, but try to notify your partner in advance of that date if it looks like you are going to be late. And please ask if you have any questions about this swap. Veena- mercury.smith |
